Chapter 277: Keep the wealth within the family



Arriving at Wansheng Bank, Nie Zhan took Lu Jiaxin directly to the general manager's office. There, Lu Jiaxin met his eldest brother Nie Jingwen. Although they were cousins, the two brothers looked quite similar, probably because of the strong genes of the Nie family.

Nie Zhan introduced the two people to each other.

Nie Jingwen smiled and said, "Miss Lu, I have asked Nie Zhan to have dinner with me several times, but this guy was afraid that I would scare you and didn't want to bring you out."

Seeing his attitude, Lu Jiaxin felt that the Nie family was pretty good. Most wealthy families fought like chickens, such as the Su family and the He family, but the Nie family was not like that.

Lu Jiaxin smiled shyly. It was not appropriate for her to show off her sophistication at this age.

After the three of them sat down, Nie Zhan said, "Brother, I've already told you on the phone that these items are rare treasures. I hope you can give me a good price."

Nie Jingwen also gave Nie Zhan face and said, "Don't worry, once we ask experts to verify that it is genuine, I will definitely give a price that will satisfy Miss Lu."

Lu Jiaxin was very happy: "Thank you, Mr. Nie."

"Don't call me Mr., you should call me Big Brother."

How could Lu Jiaxin say that? She and Nie Zhan hadn't officially started dating yet. But she didn't refute him. After all, Nie Zhan was right here. She lowered her head and pretended to be shy.

Nie Jingwen found her shy look interesting. In the past few years, his mother and second aunt had introduced many rich girls to Nie Zhan, but this boy didn't like any of them. At that time, he saw in a magazine that he liked men, and his mother was very anxious. But she didn't expect that he would eventually fall in love with a junior high school student. When the news spread, his mother was always worried that Lu Jiaxin was a scheming woman.

The secretary quickly brought two cups of coffee.

Nie Zhan said directly to the secretary: "Go buy two glasses of blueberry juice."

The secretary was startled, then looked at his boss, and left after seeing him nod.

Nie Zhan and Nie Jingwen explained: "Jia Xin doesn't drink coffee. She usually drinks boiled water and juice."

Lu Jiaxin's face turned red. This guy was too inappropriate to the occasion.

Seeing her like this, Nie Jingwen started talking about the goods: "Ms. Lu, I wonder what you are pawning this time? If you know more about it, I can ask relevant experts to identify it."

Lu Jiaxin said: "Jade, calligraphy and painting, and porcelain are the three major categories. Among them, jade, there are six varieties of jewelry, such as imperial green, violet, and spring color."

Nie Jingwen asked in surprise, "Miss Lu, your mother actually has so many good things. I wonder what your ancestors did for a living?"

Lu Jiaxin smiled and said, "My ancestors were poor. In the past few years, the mainland was in a difficult situation and these things were worthless. My parents were smart and secretly collected these things."

Soon the secretary brought over some blueberry juice, placed it in front of Lu Jiaxin, and then walked out, giving her a subtle glance before leaving.

After a while, Gu Wenfeng and Su Heyuan arrived. Nie Jingwen immediately took Lu Jiaxin over after hearing the news. Because he had given the order, the things were moved directly into the bank's safe.

Nie Jingwen said, "Miss Lu, can you show me the set of imperial green jewelry you mentioned?"

Because they are collateral, they can be seen even if the appraiser comes. Lu Jiaxin said, "These things are my mother's favorite things. They were specially left for me. I won't sell them."

Nie Jingwen thought this girl was too smart. She stopped him before he even opened his mouth. But he was quick to react and asked, "Do you mean that except for the jewelry your mother left behind, everything else can be sold?"

Lu Jiaxin said: "It depends on the item. If it is particularly valuable, it cannot be sold. If it is lost abroad, I will be a sinner."

Nie Jingwen's friends are either rich or noble, and they would not look down upon anything that is not a rare treasure.

Nie Zhan said, "Brother, Jia Xin is not short of money and will not sell it. Don't let anyone know."

After Nie Jingwen looked at the things in the box, he had an idea in his mind: "Miss Lu, I will ask someone to come and appraise it in two days. I will ask A Zhan to come with you then."

"good."

The things were locked in the safe and Lu Jiaxin kept the key herself.

When they walked outside, Nie Jingwen said, "Let's have dinner together tonight?"

Nie Zhan didn't refuse, but said that he had something to do now: "I will invite you and my sister-in-law to eat French food on Sunday. I will ask Qing Lei to vacate the best seat then."

"Miss Lu, are you coming with us?"

Nie Zhan said that Lu Jiaxin had something else to do and didn't have time for the time being, so they should make an appointment another day.

After walking outside and getting in the car, Nie Zhan explained, "I didn't get your consent just now, so it's not easy for me to agree to my eldest brother."

Lu Jiaxin smiled and said, "I have to go back to the mainland after this is done, so I really don't have time. I heard that your eldest brother and eldest sister-in-law fell in love in college and got married as soon as they graduated. Is that true?"

Nie Jingwen and his wife love each other and have a son and a daughter. They are a model couple in Hong Kong. Of course, Nie Jingwen's wife also comes from a wealthy family, so the two are well matched.

Nie Zhan smiled and said, "Yes, my eldest sister-in-law is one grade lower than my eldest brother. The two met at a dance and later got together."

Lu Jiaxin felt that someone like Nie Jingwen was actually quite rare. After all, there was never a shortage of beautiful women around rich young masters.

Not wanting to be asked a lot of questions, Lu Jiaxin just stayed in the hotel.

When Su Heyuan arrived at the Peninsula Hotel, he asked, "Why did you choose to stay at the hotel? Are you not comfortable living at Gu's house?"

Lu Jiaxin told her about the questions Ah Mei asked her today: "I don't like those people. They ask questions without any sense of propriety."

Su Heyuan also felt that Gu's house was no longer suitable for living. He said, "Let's stay in a hotel this time. When you come back from the mainland, you can stay at my place. I have many rooms. You can choose any one you want."

Lu Jiaxin shook her head and refused, she felt it was too inconvenient.

Su Heyuan said: "What's the inconvenience? I am your guardian now. It is only natural for you to live with me!"

Lu Jiaxin smiled and said, "The He family hasn't discovered my aunt's illness yet, so it's not appropriate to let outsiders know about this for the time being."

Su Heyuan said: "There are so many He family spies in the Gu residence, and Ms. Gu's condition has worsened. This matter can't be concealed for long."

Lu Jiaxin had the same idea. However, her custody had already been transferred, so even if the He family discovered Gu Xiuxiu's illness, it would not affect her. As for Gu Haifan, she could do nothing if Gu Xiuxiu was unwilling to hand over the custody. She could only wait until she turned 18 and then think of a solution.

Su Heyuan said: "You don't have to worry too much about Ms. Gu's affairs. Her purpose in bringing you to Hong Kong City was not pure."

Lu Jiaxin did not hide it from her: "I knew before I came here that her purpose of bringing Haifan and me to Hong Kong City was to provide an extra layer of security for our retirement in the future. She has been very good to me this year, and I will not stand idly by and watch her affairs in the future."

Su Heyuan nodded: "It's good that you know it in your heart."
